Example and Guidelines for a
CASR Part 145 APPROVED
MAINTENANCE ORGANISATION
EXPOSITION
SAMPLE EXPOSITION
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This document provides guidance on the structure and content of an approved maintenance
organisation (AMO) exposition as required under CASR paragraph145.030 (1) (a). The content
relates directly to the requirements of CASR Part 145 and the Part 145 Manual of Standards
(MOS) as applicable to an AMO.
The document is a mixture of requirements and guidance under recommended headings for a
AMO’s exposition. It is recommended that AMOs retain the headings (expanded as necessary)
and the content of Part 1. All other detail can be amended to suit your organisation.
The content of the sample exposition has been arranged into parts, sections and subsections.
The aim is to collate all the processes and procedures related to a subject under the relevant
section in the exposition, irrespective of the location of the legislative requirements either in the
CASR Part 145 or in the Part 145 MOS.
The text provided under each section or subsection of the sample exposition provides guidance
on the nature of contents to be included. The sections and subsections should be further
expanded according to the complexity of the processes and procedures of the AMO. As
mentioned above, CASA recommends Part 1 be retained as per the sample exposition as it
provides the main administrative information about the organisation, including the
organisation’s structure, location, scope of approval, list of key personnel etc.
In some cases specimen text or procedures have been included (in italics) in the sample
exposition to expand the guidance and to illustrate the nature of the content required. The
organisation should carefully consider the provided content and make necessary changes
before including it in their exposition.
It is important for the users of this document to appreciate that no single sample exposition can
meet the needs of all types and sizes of organisations or reflect the different organisational
structures, policies and procedures. This document is for guidance only and the structure and
content of the AMO’s exposition should reflect their structures, policies and procedures. CASA
suggests the organisation correlates the content of the exposition with a compliance check
list/matrix to demonstrate to CASA that they have fully addressed all applicable requirements of
CASR Part 145 and Part 145 MOS.
Where the content of the exposition requires processes and procedures to be provided, these
may be included in other documents provided they are referred to in the exposition. However, in
that case, the other documents form part of the exposition and are subject to the same
requirements and controls as the exposition. Processes and procedures included or referred to
in the exposition should be of adequate depth and include enough details to demonstrate they
establish compliance with the applicable requirements of CASR Part 145 and the Part 145
MOS. An accurately completed compliance matrix may benefit the AMO as a component of
their QMS for checking and conducting audit compliance requirements.
Duties and responsibilities of individuals as mentioned in the exposition should relate to the
obligation of the organisation or the individual under CASR Part 145 and Part 145 MOS, and
are not meant to cover employment conditions, performance criteria or administrative functions.
Where content of the exposition requires identifying the individual responsible for an action or a
decision that is part of a process, it is intended that the individual will be identified by their
position title (such as ‘quality manager’) or if applicable, by means that describes their function
(such as ‘Safety Manager’ or ‘data entry clerk’).
AMO Sample Exposition

Where content of the exposition deals with records to be created or kept by the organisation,
the relevant procedures in the exposition should take into account the following:



legibility of the record;
retrieval of records; and
protection of the records from loss, damage or accidental alteration.
CASA recommends worksheets, checklists, forms, lists of items and personnel etc. required
under the exposition or associated with the processes or procedures required by the exposition
should be included as appendices at the end of the exposition. However, as mentioned above,
they may be included in other documents that contain the processes and procedures or in any
other document if it is convenient for the organisation to do so.

changes to the statement should not alter the intent.
I, the Accountable Manager have the corporate authority to ensure that all maintenance
services required by the customer can be financed and provided to the standard required
and that all necessary resources are available to enable compliance with this exposition.
I will establish and promote policies for safety management and quality systems for this
AMO and its employees in accordance with this exposition.
This exposition defines the procedures upon which the CASR Part 145 approval of
[organisation name] as an AMO is based.
The exposition, along with the procedures contained in it, are approved by CASA and
must be complied with as applicable, in order to ensure that all the activities involving the
provision of maintenance services including maintenance of aircraft and aeronautical
products is provided to the standard required under the Legislation.
The procedures included or referred to in this exposition do not override the necessity of
complying with any new or amended regulations published by CASA from time to time
where these new or amended regulations are in conflict with these procedures.
The AMO approval will continue whilst CASA is satisfied that these procedures are being
followed. CASA reserves the right to suspend, vary or cancel the AMO approval of the
organisation, as applicable, if CASA has evidence that the procedures are not being

organisation intends to carry out maintenance. All locations should be included;
however a different emphasis can be placed on locations of different importance. For
example, the main locations, which are listed in the approval document, will need a
detailed description. Other significant locations such as principal (overnight) line
stations should be clearly described while en-route stations at which minor line
maintenance tasks are performed may be briefly covered.

SCOPE OF MAINTENANCE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
(CASR paragraph 145.025 (3) (b), regulation 145.070, section 145.A.10, subparagraph
70 (a) 9, 10 and Appendix I of the Part 145 MOS refers)
An AMOs approved scope of maintenance will be defined by the Approval Certificate
and exposition approved by CASA. The Approval Certificate may list the main locations,
Classes, Ratings and their limitations for the Maintenance Services that the AMO is
approved to provide.
The Part 145 MOS requires the AMO to specify in its exposition the scope of
maintenance it has the capability to perform at each of its locations. This section of the
exposition may contain a capability management procedure, to manage maintenance
within the scope of its approval. For example the aeronautical products the organisation
may maintain under a particular C rating.
